Future opportunities, tied to funded work.
TDTI is developing its research, technology, and education programs. We expect to recruit for different roles as grants are awarded and project funding is secured. There are no advertised vacancies at this time; openings will be published here when funding, scope, and staffing needs are confirmed.
Our timing and hiring needs will depend on the work each award supports. The areas below describe potential future needs, rather than positions currently open for applications.
Why work with us
Practical work with a public purpose.
TDTI is a nonprofit institute working across trusted data, responsible AI, cybersecurity, public-sector technology, and organizational research. Our work connects evidence with implementation: understanding a problem, building or evaluating a solution, and communicating what the results do—and do not—show.
As our funded programs grow, we want to work with people who care about both the quality of their work and the people who depend on it.
Potential future roles
Different disciplines. Shared responsibility.
Staffing will follow the requirements of each funded project. Future opportunities may span these areas.

Software & technology development
Software engineers, data engineers, systems architects, and quality assurance specialists who can build maintainable applications, integrate systems, test thoroughly, and document their decisions.
Security & technology assurance
Cybersecurity specialists and security engineers who can assess risk, evaluate controls, investigate weaknesses, and help teams design and operate dependable systems.
Training & instructional design
Instructors, instructional designers, and technical writers who can turn complex subjects into accurate, accessible learning materials and practical exercises for public employees and organizational teams.
Program & research operations
Project managers, program coordinators, and grant administration professionals who can organize delivery, support reporting, manage documentation, and help teams meet project and award requirements.

What to expect
Clear roles when opportunities open.
Each posting will explain the responsibilities, required qualifications, engagement type, expected duration, work location or remote arrangements, compensation information, and how to apply. Some roles may be tied to a particular grant or project period.
Selection will focus on evidence relevant to the work. Depending on the role, this may include discussion of prior projects, research or writing samples, technical work, and professional references. Any additional award-specific requirements will be stated in the posting.
